And if they have that kind of money, they perhaps don't want the hassle of having a modular home in the back garden anyway.

Or else there'll be people who just do, get their load of pallets and insulation and stuff out of skips and make their own shanty town ones in their back garden.

And I'd be very worried about those.

But I mean, I can't see, it's definitely not going to create up to 350,000 homes.

As the lobbyists claimed, it'll be far, far less.

If indeed, it'd be interesting to see how many, you know, we won't actually know how many people really, I suspect,

will take this up because I think the amount of people who I know you're supposed to, you know, tell the local authority what you're doing, but we'll have to see how many people actually do that because they'll be keeping their heads down, I suspect, so that revenue don't know about it either.

Oh, sure.

But the lobbyists got there before the last election and the programme for government.

But either way, I mean, the point of the article, I suppose, David, was that, you know, government are very quick to take up ideas from various sectors of the industry, for example, without thinking the implications through.

And that is exactly what happened when we had, the last time we had the economic and property crisis back in 2008,

That's exactly what happened.

And, you know, there was a whole lot of herding and group thinking.

People were afraid to kind of challenge ideas because the populist narrative was so populist, I suppose.

And we ran with everything that we knew deep in our hearts wasn't a good idea.

And I'm just kind of trying to make the point that we have to be really careful when it comes to housing, because a house is not a crop.

As the architect Paddy Shafi said years ago, it's, you know, it'll last forever.

So we have to be really careful about what we build, where we build it, the size we build it and all of that stuff.
